Tigers Defeat Defending Junior College Champs on Saturday

 

Baytown, Texas - Trinity's women's tennis team earned its second upset win of the weekend, defeating defending Junior College National Champions Lee College 6-3 on Saturday afternoon.

Trinity (2-0), which is ranked 14th in Division III, defeated Tarleton State University yesterday - the 23rd-ranked team in Division II.

After winning all three doubles points, the Tigers proceeded to win three of six singles points to earn the victory.  Trinity lost an 8-1 decision to Lee last season, but did beat the Rebels 5-4 in 2006.

Alicia Hunt and Laura Steinmetz team up for an 8-4 win at No. 1 doubles, while Katie Poettcker and Erin Jamison won 8-6 at No. 2.  Megan Fish and Megan Jackson cruised to an 8-2 victory at No. 3 doubles.

Hunt and Poettcker lost at the top two singles positions, as did Cayleigh Simpson - who clinched yesterday's 5-4 win over Tarleton in singles.

Jamison, Jackson, and senior Heather Naeher earned straight set victories in the final three singles slots to earn the win for the Tigers. 

Trinity resumes its schedule with the home opener against St. Edward's University on February 15, which will also be the first of five consecutive home matches for the Tigers.
